FAQs
What is the difference between a deep cycle battery and a standard battery?
Deep cycle batteries are designed to provide a steady current over a long period and can be repeatedly discharged significantly. Standard (cranking) batteries are designed for short, high-current bursts to start an engine.
Can I use this battery to start my boat engine?
While it may have enough power in some cases, the ER350 is optimized for deep cycle applications, not for the high cranking amps typically required to start an engine. It's best suited for powering onboard accessories and systems.
How often should I charge the EXIDE ER350?
It's recommended to recharge the battery before it drops below 50% state of charge to prolong its lifespan. Regular charging after use is essential for deep cycle batteries.
What type of charger should I use?
You should use a charger specifically designed for 12V deep cycle lead-acid batteries. Multi-stage charging is ideal for optimal performance and longevity.
How long does the EXIDE ER350 typically last?
The lifespan varies depending on usage patterns, maintenance, and charging habits. With proper care, a deep cycle battery can last several years.
Is this battery maintenance-free?
The ER350 is a deep cycle battery which typically requires some maintenance, such as checking water levels (if it's not a sealed unit) and ensuring terminals are clean. Always refer to the manufacturer's specific guidelines.
What does NCC Verified mean?
NCC Verified means the battery has met the standards set by the National Caravan Council, indicating it has passed specific quality and safety tests relevant for caravan and leisure use.
Troubleshooting
Battery not holding charge
Check for excessive parasitic drain, ensure the battery is fully charged with a compatible deep cycle charger, and verify terminals are clean and connections are secure.
Reduced performance or capacity
The battery may be nearing the end of its service life or has been subjected to improper charging/discharging cycles. Ensure charging is done correctly and consider replacement if significantly degraded.
Corrosion on terminals
Clean terminals with a wire brush and a mixture of baking soda and water. Apply a terminal protector to prevent future corrosion.
Battery case is swollen or leaking
This indicates a potential internal problem, possibly due to overcharging or extreme temperatures. Discontinue use immediately and seek professional inspection or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the battery is installed in a well-ventilated area. Connect the positive terminal (+) first, followed by the negative terminal (-). Use appropriate gauge wiring for the load. Compatibility: The ER350 is compatible with most 12V leisure and marine systems, including caravans, RVs, boats, and off-grid power setups. It is designed for deep cycle use and should be paired with a compatible deep cycle charger. Care: To maximize lifespan, avoid fully discharging the battery regularly. Use a multi-stage deep cycle charger. Keep terminals clean and free from corrosion. Store the battery in a cool, dry place if not in use, and ensure it is periodically topped up with a charge. Check electrolyte levels (if applicable for the specific model) and top up with distilled water as needed.
